将 主分区 与 SWAP交换分区 分别放在两个硬盘上，这样能提高运行效率吗？

小弟初学，特来请教：
   
    现有两块硬盘，欲在其一7200转硬盘上安装主分区，然后将SWAP交换分区放置于另一5400转硬盘上，
不知这样对运行效率有没有提高？？？

Please understand under what situation your system will rely on SWAP.  You system begin to write temporary information to SWAP when the physical memory is not sufficient.  Therefore, the best way to improve system performance is to add RAM, not a SWAP.

However, if you want to do this, separate them in different IDE port, i.e. 7200rpm harddisk as primary master and 5400rpm harddisk on secondary (master of slave) do not matter.  Do not put them together in the same primary or same secondary.

In the IDE architecture, master and slave are sharing the same IDE port.  In other words, when master and slave cannot do a READ or WRITE action in the same time.
